What's wrong with a few perks? I remember picking up a few perks while I was at the ACCC:
* a trip on a luxury fishing cruiser with an open bar (in order to get in behind the angry mob manning the picket lines during the Waterfront dispute),
* a helicopter ride with Chris Corrigan (in order to avoid getting beaten up by the same angry mob manning the picket lines during the Waterfront dispute),
* $100 of petty cash to buy beers (in the course of an investigation into an alleged beer price fixing arrangement between a number of gay bar operators in Sydney),
* a trip to an ice cream factory (in the middle of Winter in Adelaide to learn more about the cold storage industry),
* another $50 for beers and meal at an RSL Club (as I tried to eavesdrop on an alleged cartel meeting between participants in the scrap metal industry), and
* getting to drive around in a brand new Tarago for a few days (for the purposes of taking my team out to Caltex Banksmeadow Refinery to execute a s155(2) notice (effectively a search warrant) in relation to the ACCC's ill-fated petrol price fixing case).
